Offended

offended |əˈfendid|adjectiveresentful or annoyed, typically as a result of a perceived insult: she sounded slightly offended.

OFFENDED,

a word I am more than familiar with in part because of a tender heart.

True,

my feelings can be hurt.

The cure:

1) Reread the definition,

"typically a result of a  PERCEIVED insult."

In other words,

choosing to be OFFENDED may be in vain.

My perceptions are not always correct.

2) Remember,
Pure charity means not easily provoked or taking OFFENSE.

3) Repeat:

"It only matters what God thinks."

* if I am feeling  OFFENDED   it is quite possible,
I am too concerned with 

what others think...and that would be  PRIDE.

4) Smile.

Holding grudges makes one grimace...not an attractive expression.

Get up off your knees.

Get walking with Jesus on the path to Discipleship.
